Is a Rare Earth a Powerful Test of the Creation/Evolution Models of Origins?
Dr. Danny Faulkner has received criticism on this site for proposing that an absence of extraterrestrial life is a powerful test of the creation model of origins against the evolution model. He expresses this belief most clearly in an article entitled, “Can Life Exist on Other Planets?” published in the October 2009 issue of the…
Comic Book Predicts Flying Saucers over Washington DC in 1950?
Most saucerians are familiar with the 1952 Washington DC Merry-Go-Round, a two weekend event in which flying saucers were sighted over the US capital, chiefly on July 19–20 and July 26–27. Historians consider it the climax of the 1952 flap. Perhaps the strangest part if this tale is that a 1950s comic apparently predicted these…
Famous Creation Scientists Who Believed in Aliens
“Tony Breeden, we know about your lone wolf views on aliens. Go and troll somewhere else.” This comment was fired at me by an admin on the Alien Intrusion movie’s Facebook page and rather quickly deleted thereafter (Yes, I have a screenshot), but I wanted to comment on that whole “lone wolf” notion. I believe…
No Big Bang, No Aliens?
One of the biggest errors in the Alien Intrusion movie is the idea that without the Big Bang there could be no aliens. In the film, Dr Jonathan Sarfati says: “Now, here is the key point. This Big Bang Theory is a central to the idea of alien life populating our universe. No Big Bang, no alien…

UFOs for Israel: The Ufology of Christian Fundamentalist Dr. Carl McIntire’s Twentieth Century UFO Bureau
It may surprise you to learn that not all Christian Fundamentalists think that UFOs are demonic. One notable exception is Dr. Carl McIntire, the fundamentalist Presbyterian who is considered by some to be the founding father of the Religious Right. McIntire was very much interested in unidentified flying objects. Claiming that the media was ignoring…
Exotheology.org Reviews Gary Bates’ Alien Intrusion Movie
For those of you who are familiar with my writing here on Exotheology.org and in my book Stranger and Aliens, you are probably aware that I knew I probably wouldn’t like the Alien Intrusion film going into it. It was already evident from the trailers and, frankly, the Alien Intrusion book itself that this movie…
How Gary Bates’ Star Wars Comment Inadvertently Reflects Lazy Research In His Alien Intrusion Movie
The beginning of a short 2 minute clip of the Alien Intrusion movie, based on the book of the same name by Gary Bates, has a comment on Star Wars that should worry his audience. The same scene appears identically in the film itself. “Consider the Star Wars franchise with its good versus evil concepts, its Messianic…
Would We Believe in the Possibility of Alien Life Without the Theory of Evolution?
A May 31, 2006 article by Gary Bates and David Catchpoole on Creation.com caught my attention a while back. It was called “ET Needed Evolution.” Notably, it’s now cited as a linked resource for Session 2 in the Discussion Guide for the Alien Intrusion movie. I hadn’t yet written Strangers & Aliens but I had read Gary Bates’ Alien Intrusion: UFOs…
